RIS Swiss Section is located in Minburi, a residential district in eastern Bangkok. The campus is about 14 km from Suvarnabhumi International Airport and 22 km from the Sukhumvit area, making it accessible for international families. It shares a secure, green campus with Ruamrudee International School, surrounded by gated communities and close to major road connections.
The school provides education from Nursery (from around 18 months old) through Grade 12. It is structured into three sections: Pre-School, Primary, and Secondary, with the Secondary section leading up to the bilingual Swiss Matura diploma.
RIS Swiss Section is a private, co-educational day school with boarding available for Grades 7–12 in the on-campus Seelos Residence. Class sizes are small to allow individual attention.
RIS Swiss Section offers structured additional learning support for students with varying needs. In the early years, children can access targeted help in areas such as motor skills, speech, perception, and social development, including participation in psychomotor learning groups. For students with limited German proficiency, the school runs a dedicated German as a Foreign Language (DaF) programme to build language confidence. In Grades 7–10, the HaLe (Homework and Learning Support) programme provides a weekly 90-minute session to reinforce classroom learning, strengthen study skills, and assist with assignments. These sessions are arranged following teacher recommendations and require parental approval. Beyond this, private tutoring can be organized in specific subjects to support individual learning goals. This combination of early intervention, language support, structured learning sessions, and tailored tutoring ensures that students who need extra help are given targeted assistance within the school framework.
The school is officially recognized and subsidized by both Switzerland and Germany.
The school does not have a religious affiliation.
The school does not publicly provide information about exact start and end times or the structure of the school day.
